Welcome to the Episcopal Church of the Atonement!

Westfield, MA

Welcome to the Episcopal Church of The Atonement (ECOTA). We are a community in which visitors, friends and members find renewal and refreshment in celebrating the mystery, beauty, and joy of faith. We draw our nourishment from Jesus who calls us into relationship with the Divine.  Because of his Word and example, we recognize the divine spark within all human beings, and everyone is welcome here. We are glad you have stopped by our website to consider the possibility of having ECOTA become part of your spiritual journey.


We offer worship services on Sunday mornings at 8am and 10am and on Wednesday afternoons at 12:15pm; we live stream services on YouTube and Facebook. Visit our Welcome to ECOTA page for more details.


If you have any questions, please stop by to talk to us (office hours below), send us an email (program@atonementwestfield.org) , or give the office a call (413-562-5461).

Thank You & Farewell, Tanya!

We gathered after worship to celebrate wonderful office administrator Tanya Woodbury as she moves forward into her career with a new full-time position. Everyone was on hand for cake and festivities to send her off in style.

 

We will miss seeing Tanya in the office, enjoying lovely chats with her, and having her help us with all the many projects and events going on at ECOTA. Thank you for all you have done for the church, Tanya, and best of luck in your new job!
